I have been unsuccessfully attempting to download Flash Player on IE and Mozilla. When i get to the "install" window on both browsers it says that download will commence once browsers are closed. When i close browsers i am unable to access Adobe without a browser opened.??

I have unistalled/re-installed with no result. I believe there is a compatibility issue between the latest (.63) Flash and Firefox 10. I’ve even updated to Firefox 11. Same warning….”update Flash NOW”…and when I try, “initialization failed”.

No joy. I did find four NPSWF32.dll which I deleted. Had high hopes. Am reminded of the axiom that, if you keep doing the same damn thing expecting a different result...you may be a redneck. Or, was that a corrolary? Nevermind, I HATE FIREFOX now. Does this help?

Thank you for the FlashInstall.log file; I can see that there are many errors or warnings during the uninstall process. However, I cannot see any attempts to run the installers - could it be that the error occurs before it starts logging?

Isn't there an executable file that you can send to me? I am not computer savvy and I tried using the uninstall feature, and it worked, however when flash goes to open up, it stays stuck at 0% then becomes unresponsive, and I have to stop it .

Disable your antivirus. This is important because most modern AV incorporate scanners which interfere with the installation process. If you have AVAST, right click the orange icon in systray and go to "AVAST Shields Control". Choose to disable all shields for one hour. If you have a different AV, consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html

Run the Flash uninstaller to remove Flash player (even if you think it's not installed).
